St Thomas Rest Park

St Thomas Rest Park, located in West Street, Crows Nest, New South Wales, Australia, is the site of the first cemetery on Sydney's North Shore.

His remains were later moved to a tomb constructed in the St Thomas' Cemetery by Alexander Berry for his wife.

Many monuments and headstones are located within the sandstone-edged historic precincts while others are scattered around the Rest Park.
